Hi,
I am having a problem with my Compaq Presario X6000 CTO notebook. Here is a list of events which have elapsed over the past month.
-My Computer's battery remains stuck at 25% and will not charge
-I purchase a new battery
-I put it in, windows indicates it is at 0% and charging
-I wait several hours
-I discharge the battery
-The computer now will not run off the battery or charge it

It is also important to note that my battery light constantly flashes which indicates that the system is trying to detect the battery as I understand it.

My Computer Stats:
Battery: 14.4v 6.6ah
OS: Windows XP
Brand: Compaq
Model: Presario X6000 CTO

I have tried the following troubleshooting methods with no success:
-flashing bios
-booting windows and taking out and putting in the battery
-uninstalling windows APCI power management in the device manager

I would appreciate any help that anyone could offer me.

Sincerely,
Jeff Heidel
